Chapter 2281
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Even though Danielâs mother denied it, she still wanted to know the results of the appraisal.
She was very dissatisfied because that appraisal expert did not tell her at once when she got the results but instead, she asked Madeline to send the report to her.
Nayaâs eyes also unconsciously landed on the papers Madeline was holding. This time, she had no idea whether Madeline was deliberately faking this.
Madeline did not give Naya the chance to guess either, and she did not let Danielâs mother feel conflicted for too long. She immediately took the papers in her hand and showed the results to them.
The eyes of Danielâs mother widened as the items listed on the papers were all the items she sent for appraisal. There were 33 items, not one item more or one item less.
Then, she noticed the results of the appraisal. What shocked her was that there was not a single â
authenticâ remark on the report. All of them were fake!
Of course, Naya saw the results as well. Her face was just like Danielâs motherâs. It immediately turned dark, and she looked very embarrassed. âMrs. Graham, you're seeing this too, right? The jewelry and bags Naya gave you are all fakes. She only did that to get on your good side. At the same time, you donât know anything about branded goods, so youâve been helping her save the cost of flattering you.â
Madeline was straightforward, and Danielâs mother became burning hot after hearing that. She was a rich woman from an aristocratic family, yet she was called stupid in front of everyone. How would she be able to save her dignity now?
What embarrassed Danielâs mother even more was that she had worn the jewelry and bags Naya gave her to a lot of upper class parties and dinners.
When she thought about how the things she wore were all fake and the other rich women might have been laughing at her behind her back for wearing fakes, she wanted so badly to crawl into a hole. That was so embarrassing!
Naya noticed Mrs. Grahamâs expression. She wanted to maintain her image. Of course, she would not admit it so easily.
âEveline, what kind of appraisal expert is your friend? She got the results yet didnât send them directly to the client but instead, she handed them to an irrelevant person like you. Who would dare visit an appraisal expert who leaks her clients â details to others? Also, the branded bags and jewelry I gave to Mrs. Graham are all from the stores. How can they be fakes? I think your appraisal expert friend is the fake one.â °
Naya denied it and turned her head to try to comfort Danielâs mother.
âMrs. Graham, donât trust what Eveline said. Sheâs here to speak on behalf of Ava, so she must be saying that to drive a wedge between us. The things I gave you are all authentic. The only fake thing is the appraisal report.â
Naya insisted, then looked at Madeline with an arrogant and disdainful look.
âEveline, donât try to drive a wedge between me and Mrs. Graham. Donât try to slander me. Even if I had really broken the law, you have no right to criticize me here. The police wouldâve been here for me a long time ago.â
âNaya Mendez.â
After Naya finished quibbling, a righteous voice suddenly came from among the crowd.
Naya was stunned and did not know who was calling her name. She looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw two police officers in uniform walking over to her while pushing through the crowd.
Naya was staring blankly ahead like she was ina daze. Her arrogant confidence from the previous second was immediately blown away by the wind i nthat instant.
Madeline saw the change in Nayaâs expression and smiled. âJust as you wish, the police are here for you.â
«..â When she heard this, Naya backed away in a panic. At that moment, she felt her footsteps getting light.
The expressions of Mrs. Graham and Ava changed at the same time. It was because the police had really come for Naya.
âNaya, we have enough evidence to prove that youâ re involved in an attempted murder case. Please go back with us for questioning.â
